A Physician Run Over.

Yesterday evening, about z O'Clock, as
DIR. Bishop was standing On the corne Of
Park and Main streets. near Owsley &
Carr's stable, a wagon, in which were two
men, Gus Camphausen and Gus Peterson,
who were somewhat under the influence OF
liquor, struck him On the left side. knocked
him down and passed over him. As soon
as the doctor got up he saw that the care
~lessness OF the driver was the cause of the
accident, and he went to the wagon, which
was brought to a standstill by Chief Meikle-
john, who had ordered the drivers arrest.
One OF the men alighted from the vehi. lie,
and the doctor coming up he began to BAN
dy words with him. This so angered the
doctor that he was reused to the point OF
striking the fellow, when the officer removed
both offenders to the City Hall, where a
charge Of careless driving was preferred
against them. They we're released or bail.
The doctors injuries fortunately were not
serious enough to confine him to the house,
but he feels badly Jared all over and q
numbness in his left arm.

the CASE DISMISSED.
The Montana Central Finds the Mon
tana Union Not the Responsible
Party-Ehe Silver Bow CANYON Track.

AA0 mOuU&u8 OcuGT8l ElnOS G06 Mon
tana Union Not the Responsible
Party-rhe Silver Bow Canyon Track.
The case Of the Montana Central against
the Montana Uuion for an Injunction
against the latter continuing the work OF
MISUNDERSTANDING in Silver Bow Can
yon was decided at Deer Lodge by the
dismissal of the proceedings upon the
showing by the Montana Union that the
Union Pacific engineers were the party at
work there. The proceedings will now be
turned against the latter company.
In this connection it was stated by a
prominent railroad official yesterday that,
if anything, the work on the line in Silver
Bow Canyon being at present lone by the
engineers really affords more room
for another road. Mr.. Rogers, engineer
in charge OF Strengthening the road,
says that the new line as run
by him reduces the curvature of the present
track an entire circle. The length If the
line in the canyon is reduced 600 feet. Now
only fourteen or fifteen cars can be drawn
by the heaviest engine through it, whereas
the new line will admit of twenty or twen-
ty-ive cars beng drawn by the same horse
power. The resistance of the inert weight
is thus materially reduced by Strengthening
the alignment.

WHERE GOOD COFFEE GROWS.
Some Varieties Cost 10 Cents n Pound
on the Plantations.

Some Varieties Cost 10 Cents n Pound
on the Plantations.
At the Coffee Exchange the other day
several well known speculators were dis
oussing the new boom in that market,
when the subject of the Mexican product
came up. Said one broker probably
the best coffee in the world is raised about
Jalapa, but it never reaches the markets
Of the United States, for the reason that
II Is bought up seasons in advance by resi-
dent English buyers for the English mar
ket. The resident German buyers con-
tract for three or Jour years in advance
for the crops raised in the states of Vera
Cruz, Tobasco, Colima, Michoacan and
Guerrero. The little state of Colima has
probably exported more rich coffee beans
than all the other Mexican states put to-
gether and at the astounding price of 70
cents per pound. A friend OF mini went
down to try to secure some of this deli
cious product even at the price mentioned,
but he found himself forestalled by the
English, French and German resident
buyers, who watch with hawk like glance
that the letter and spirit of their contracts
with the Mexican planters are carried out
even to the extent OF a single pound of the
bean.
"Jalapa is connected with Vera Cruz
by a steel railroad sixty miles long, and
this country he describes as an Eden. The
coffee plantations are interesting and al
ways slope towards the east. When the
plants are one year old they are trans
planted into squares ten feet apart, with
banana plants in between, so as to protect
the coffee shrubs from the fierce rays of
the sun. At this age they are about two
feet high, and they are never permitted to
attain q growth Of over six feet. The
plant bears from the age of three years,
and, unless blighted, continues to yield
up to its fifteenth year, when 1t is usually
uprooted and supplnnted by a one-year-
old sprig.
The leaf is olive green in color, the
blossom white and the berry itself a pea
green. Each berry contains two beans,
which when ripe for picking turn earmine.
The average earnings of six-year-old coffee
shrubs are 90 cents, and a plant between
twelve and fifteen years of age yields from
81 to $1.25 worth Of beans yearly. Coffee
is picked much as cotton or hops, and the
poems earn about % cents per diem during
the season. Upon the coffee plantations
bananas and castor oil berries raised be-
tween the coffee to shelter it are sold at
absurdly low prices. Last year the value
OF coffee exported from Vera Cruz was
81 300, 900; Colima, $240, 900; Chiapas,
$96,OOOi Guerrero, $4,000; Michoacan,
$153, 0OOi Morelos, $83, 900; Tobasco,
$4,000, and Oaxaca, $8S, 900. No; we
don't know in New York what really good
coffee is. Coffee at 70 cents a pound on
the plantation would cost a pretty penny
here, even II we could get it."-New
York World.
